CA 2411408

A needle assembly includes a needle and a hub mounted to each other. The hub includes a sidewall spaced outwardly from the needle cannula and extending to a distal position between the opposed ends of the needle cannula. A housing integral with the hub defines a sidewall to partially confine a safety shield. The safety shield is slidably disposed about the needle cannula and releasably retained in a proximal position and can be moved to a distal position where the safety shield completely surrounds that portion of the needle hub projecting distally from the hub. The needle assembly includes a spring for propelling the safety shield to the distal position and a latch for releasing the safety shield from the proximal position. The latch may be passively activated by normal usage of the medical implement to which the needle assembly is mounted or alternately activated manually.

Dispositif constitué d'une aiguille et d'un embout fixés l'un à l'autre. L'embout comprend une paroi latérale éloignée de la canule de l'aiguille vers l'extérieur et se prolongeant vers une position distale entre les extrémités opposées de la canule d'aiguille. Un boîtier solidaire de l'embout forme une paroi latérale qui sert à contenir partiellement un protecteur. Le protecteur se glisse de façon à recouvrir la canule de l'aiguille et est retenu dans une position proximale de façon à pouvoir être libéré. Il peut également être placé en position distale, auquel cas le protecteur recouvre entièrement la partie de l'aiguille se prolongeant distalement hors de l'embout. Le dispositif comprend un ressort servant à propulser le protecteur en position distale, ainsi qu'un mécanisme de verrouillage qui permet de libérer le protecteur de sa position proximale. Le mécanisme de verrouillage s'active passivement par l'utilisation normale de l'appareil médical sur lequel le dispositif est monté; autrement, il peut être activé manuellement.
